Exact crossover Green function in the two-channel and two-impurity Kondo models.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Symmetry-breaking perturbations destabilize the critical points of the two-channel and two-impurity Kondo models, thereby leading to a crossover from non-Fermi liquid behavior to standard Fermi liquid physics. Here we use an analogy between this crossover and one occurring in the boundary Ising model to calculate the full crossover Green function analytically. In remarkable agreement with our numerical renormalization group calculations, the single exact function applies for an arbitrary mixture of the relevant perturbations in each model. This rich behavior resulting from finite channel asymmetry, interlead charge transfer, and/or magnetic field should be observable in quantum dot or tunneling experiments.

Numerical renormalization group calculation of impurity internal energy and specific heat of quantum impurity models
We introduce a method to obtain the specific heat of quantum impurity models via a direct calculation of the impurity internal energy requiring only the evaluation of local quantitieswithin a single numerical renormalization group (NRG) calculation for the total system. For the Anderson impurity model we show that the impurity internal energy can be expressed as a sum of purely local static cor...
متن کاملTwo-channel Kondo physics in two-impurity Kondo models.
We consider the non-Fermi-liquid quantum critical state of the spin-S two-impurity Kondo model and its potential realization in a quantum dot device. Using conformal field theory and the numerical renormalization group, we show the critical point to be identical to that of the two-channel Kondo model with additional potential scattering, for any spin S. Distinct conductance signatures are shown...
متن کاملStudy of the instability of the single-impurity multichannel ground state to inter-impurity interactions
We study a two-impurity, two-channel Kondo model, focusing on the behavior near the limit of two independent impurities. We find that significant departures from the independent regime develop below a crossover temperature which scales approximately as the tenth power of a parity asymmetry. The one-impurity, two-channel Kondo model has been the object of much renewed interest recently [ i ] . T...
متن کاملSolution of the two-impurity Kondo model: Critical point, Fermi-liquid phase, and crossover.
An asymptotically exact solution is presented for the two-impurity Kondo model for a finite region of the parameter space surrounding the critical point. This region is located in the most interesting intermediate regime where RKKY interaction is comparable to the Kondo temperature. After several exact simplifications involving reduction to one dimension and abelian bosonization, the critical p...

The ordinary single channel Kondo model consists of one or more spin 1/2 local moments interacting antiferromagnetically with conduction electrons in a metal. This model has provided a paradigm for understanding many phenomena of strongly correlated electronic materials, ranging from the formation of heavy fermion fermi liquids to the mapping to a one-band model in the cuprate superconductors. ...
